Need a Good pediatrician....any Recommendations?

I'm not positive about which insurances she takes, but my son sees Dr. Stephen at Southern Hills Pediatrics (http://www.shpediatrics.com). She has always been willing to take as much time as needed to answer my questions and reassure my fears. She's available seven days a week, which I find reassuring. I've never had to call with any urgent concerns (yet), but when I've called with a question, if the nursing staff can't immediately answer (which they usually can) I get a call back within an hour or two. I've been quite happy both with the doctor herself, and with her staff.

I've been happy with the service I get at St. Rose Pediatrics. All the doctors there are very nice.

The Fremont Childrens Clinic has a great group of Doc's. Dr. Diane Goebel is great there but she only works part time.

Hi G.,

I agree, Vegas is difficult when it comes to peds. The problem is that A LOT of them do not except HMO's. I know this because my husband lost his job when I was pregnant with my son two years ago and we had to have an HMO and many of the doctors just didn't accept it. Luckily, we were only on the HMO for a few months and eventually were back on a PPO. I have seen Dr. Carrie Wijesinghe since my daughter was born almost 5 years go. However, I think she only now accepts PPO...but it can't hurt to try. As Nicole G. said below, she is GREAT...listens, good bedside manner, etc. While Dr. Carrie was setting up her new practice, I had to go to Rosemary Hyunn...she was okay...but definitely lacking in conversation and bedside manner. I had a lot of problems with her practice at St. Rose Peds as well. Anyway, Dr. Carrie just moved and here is her new info.:

We use Dr Moore with Foothills Pediatric. I have seen other Dr's in the practice and don't really love any of the other ones but Dr Moore is wonderful. He respects my wishes as a parent as far as my son's treatment goes. He's very casual so he doesn't seem too 'big scary doctor' to the little ones. I don't have to wait in the waiting room for ever and I can always get a same day appointment. He respects our family's vaccine schedule and doesn't make you feel like you are failing as a mother because your kid eats too many cookies or like my son will only brush a couple of teeth! He is just very realistic about the Mothering job overall. The office number is ###-###-####. It isn't the direct number so you have to tell them you want DR Moore or the Ft Apache office. He's on Ft Apache near Russell.

Dr. Alazard or Dr. Mische at St. Rose Pediatrics. I LOVE THEM!! I would travel clear across town if I had to because I haven't found anyone I like better! Best thing about it is that both my kids (4 & 1.5) love them!!

I have a great pediatrician. I am taken seriously and not dismissed. My questions are answered promptly and they take time when they come in the room to see you, NOT rush out, when I have called the nurse, I am called back promptly and timely.
There are two that have teamed up-Dr Carrie and Dr Jim Mcghee. I have had all three DR's on call too, they are just as fabulous. They have moved to a new location behind Carrabas grill and the Women's specialty car obgyn. They are on Siena Heights. Near the St Rose Hospital Siena Campus. But they work with all the St Rose campuses, and I think one or 2 others.
I can't remember the address, but here is the phone # ###-###-####, then either Carmella or Candice can help you. They are WONDERFUL! They have been with me since I had our 4th(aUgust of '07) child and are still with me with our 5th newest baby 7 weeks old. I moved pediatricians when we moved from in town to southern highlands. Tell them you were referred by me-D. Y..

Best wishes!

I take my babies to St. Rose Pediatrics...and have so far loved the doctors there. Their phone number is ###-###-####

Hi G.. I think we are in the SW (Anthem area). We have been here just a couple of years and have had the same problem. I moved here from a very small town and had very personalized service so it was very different. I am currently seeing Rosemary Hyunn at St. Rose peds and she is pretty good. I have had trouble with them in the past but lately it has been going well. I am considering switching to a ped called Dr. Carey (not sure of the spelling on that). She is lcated on Sunridge Heights Parkway and I have heard such good things and the main person talking her up is a very demanding person. Anyway, she is located on Sunridge Heights Pkwy next to A WOman's Place ob/gyn (which is awesome btw). Send me an email if you need more info, as I will have to get it for you! ____@____.com

Hello G.

I have a great place where I take my two babies - Fremont Childrens Medical Clinic by Durango and Russell. I usually go to Dr Dani, however, Dr Miller is fantastic as well. Both played a part in caring for my premee while in the hospital and continuing on until now. Patient, explains everything, etc. And their office is run really well. The nurses call back within hours. They have urgent care Mon-Fri 7am to 8am so you can go without an appt. Good luck as I know how frustating finding a good doc is.
